Newme17 replied to Newme17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I bought some Yakult Probiotic drinks. I'm taking one a day. Might be tmi, but I've gotten a yeast infection. Everything is off...all my good bacteria went somewhere. Trying to replace it now. Argh.... -

Newme17 replied to Newme17's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Same here. No bm. My doc told me if I don't have one by a Friday, tomorrow, I need to take milk of magnesia to get things going. All the meds will constipate us. But happily I have been tooting, I know, maybe tmi, but I'm glad it's happening. Less gas to deal with. I'm cold. Before and after surgery, always. Wearing a big hoodie, fleece pjs pants, socks, and have a fleece blanket on top. Lol -

Attention February 2013 Sleeve Buddies!
itstheamarie replied to LizTex2587's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi guys! I promise every day it continues to improve. I was sleeved 2/7/2013 and am finally feeling almost normal again. I just reached my first goal- Onderland!!! And tomorrow is my BDay :-) so excited! HW: 236, consultation: 229, preop: 222, SD: 212. I will advise to watch your BM closely and talk to your doc if you're not having good BM regularly. I though I was all good, but my first trip to the gym went bad when it hit me like a ton of bricks! Sorry, TMI -
I have just arrived home from our 14 day holiday. We had it booked pre- covid and the company allowed us to continue postponing the booking until we could go. It was a All inclusive type holiday where you stay in a big resort and everything is at hand which suits us when travelling, my husband needs a wheelchair. We were a little nervous of the airports and flying as it is such a hassle with a wheelchair. It all went quite smoothly except for the times I was stranded with a hubby, wheelchair, two suitcases and two bags and a large handbag. At times it felt like I was the puzzle where you have a river to cross with a bag of grain, a hen and a fox. I wore the bags like a bandolero, pulled the suitcase and pushed the wheelchair with my stomach. Oh the joys of checking in at airports. I ate what I wanted, which being me, was always the best fish, seafood, cheeses and a vast amount of serrano/ parma ham. They made their own cookies and bread so these never got bypassed but in small amounts. I even had butter and ice cream. I drank strong coffee with liqueurs and some long cocktails. Usually one or two a day. A few times I felt really drunk when the bar tenders had made the cocktails stronger than the last. It was not a good feeling but I found something to eat and then the alcohol was absorbed quickly. I was a little worried to get on the scales this morning. Pre surgery, I could put almost a stone on in the two weeks [14lbs] a lot of it was water weight around my swollen ankles. I weighed in at exactly the same and TMI moment, had 8 days of poop inside me. So may even loose weight when the medicine kicks in [ or is it out ? ] So te he he another win win for my bariatric surgery

Any March Sleevers?
Pepper Paul replied to futuresleever's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I POOPED! Sorry for the TMI, but I was excited. I was sleeved on Monday, had my last BM on the previous Saturday and nothing since. I took milk of magnesia on Wed and Thursday and nothing. I took Miralax yesterday and today and finally got some results tonight. I'm also down 4 pounds in surgery, and 19 pounds since starting my pre-op diet. Yay for the new me starting to rear his sexy head! -
Is there anything you wish you'd been told pre-op?
Vizslamom replied to Pippa1703's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had the same constipation problem as not my name. Suffered for a week after surgery. TMI time - I could feel the plug through my vaginal wall. Laxatives only caused me to pass new stool around it. I had to clear up the problem as my husband was having brain surgery and I would shift from my surgery recovery to his. I had no pain from the surgery, but had Rx for gabapentine (blocks nerve pain) and a muscle relaxer. The combination of the two got me to pass the plug. I still have occasional problems with constipation and even after 6 months I take a stool softener daily. Second is you don’t know what you’re restriction will be like. While my meal size is substantially smaller than before the sleeve - I eat way more than many people on the board. And I can eat anything except over cooked dried out meat. I joined Noom after the new year to help me eat healthier. This has helped tremendously, A nutritionist visit every three months was not enough to help me eat properly. -
Thank you lord! I was at a dormant weight of 219 for the past 4 - 5 days and I was getting really upset about it. I just joined this club and I'll be damned if I don't progress some kind of way. Ok, this morning I weighed 219lbs and I got so furious, I put on my sauna jacket, jumped on my treadmill and did a 2 mile run at a varying pace of 3.2 - 4.5 (5.0 for about 1 minute, almost died) and then my kids were making a whole heck of alot of noise, couldn't hear my ipod, and my DH wasn't helping so I got even more upset and jumped on my bike and took it for a 2.5 mile mini bike ride (with the jacket on). I came back, took off my jacket and water just poured out like I just got out of the pool. **NOTE*** when you wear the sauna jacket, drink lots of water before and after your workout so you don't dehydrate. TMI here so: Every single clothing item off, completely dried off for about 5 minutes, then hopped on the scale.... I'm now 217.5lbs but I don't do the halves so I rounded it off to the nearest. Here are my stats... C 218 (-22 pounds total, -1lb this week) P.S., still drinking water..

If you can perform the requisite movements (or have your partner pamper you a bit) without pain, then go for it. *TMI alert - I'm a "missionary position" kind of guy, and it took a week or so for my core to feel "back to normal" enough to have sex. Your results may vary :sad:

No i wish i had tmi lol i was very hydrated before surgery. I lost count on how many bags of fluids I've had. Also i never once filled up my catheter bag. So my bladder ultrasound said it was only 50% full so my body must be absorbing all this fluids. Sent from my DROID RAZR MAXX using RNYTalk

2 days until surgery
MisforMimi replied to QueenieB's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I go tomorrow, so I'm right there with you QueenieB! I bringing my phone, headset and charger. Chapstick, gas-ex strips, a pillow for the ride home and little maternity belly bander And a book for the 2 hour wait before surgery. The hospitals have everything else in terms of toiletries. Tell the prep nurse/tech and they will supply you with pads. Or whatever they want you in. Girl, your whole body is about the be cut open, I don't think there is a such thing as TMI...LOL Good luck!! -
Rick has decided to get back into shape. He is doing exercises every night. Sit ups, and push ups----not me! BUT we did make a pact to begin walking each night after dinner, as soon as the Olympics are over! Following his valve surgery, we walked daily---it helped his recovery and my weight loss---but somehow, somewhere doing it fell away. We decided to do it again. I know I need to do it. I am going to uncover my elliptical today! It really is not covered, but there is a doll house blocking it's ability to spin around, as well as an unused exercise ball!!! Imagine that! Going to find new homes for those items and get with it. He wants his muscle tone back before making such a long ride....and he has a point. Our bike is really heavy, and it helps to be able to control it easier. As soon as I can ride again, core muscles should get a work out again.....til then it is inside equipment....and MAKING myself do it. Anyone want to agree to.....say....even 15 minutes of daily activity---meaning some sort of exercise----to help push me along????? Sorry y'all are feeling bad. My throat is kinda sore, like something is trying to get started on me. I spent the first half of the day yesterday not being able to get too far from the bathroom.....not sure what that was about. I took so much Immodium, I may have other issues!!! LOL Sorry way TMI I know! NM is going through a big battle in regards to the concealed carry permits. There is a group fighting to give us the right to carry our weapons into a restaurant or bar. There is a restaurant group fighting it. I KNEW I was not supposed to have it in the places, but it is usually --if I am carrying---in my purse, and I never think twice about it! Seems so silly----here they are fighting about it, and I would bet anyone who is carrying CONCEALED will keep it that way!!! There are those who get the permit, and then wear a holster so everyone can see they are armed etc--------THEY are the ones to worry about alcohol, and weapons! If you feel a need to let others know you have a gun, then the gun could well be an issue. Going to my weekly lunch with Marie today. I need to make a pot of Soup before I leave. My inlaws are sick, and she informed me that my DIL and grandsons are not feeling well either. They seemed fine, but WTH, I'll make soup. I didn't do it yesterday when the hint was made, but hey I was not feeling good then either, and no one was making me anything!! LOL So....gonna go get busy.

Hey guys. I worked a full shift today and started out kind iffy. I walked over to the General store and got 2 bottles of 7up. As my shift was ending I could feel something start to move. Ok, I know. TMI-but my poor bathroom took the brunt of it, but I sure do feel a whole heck of a lot better. Whatever was in me is dead and gone now. Hubby and I went to Wal-Mart to get him a new shaver and by the time I got home I was feeling like I could eat something. Came home and warmed a can of soup. I had 2 bowls and crackers. Yup, I'm feeling good now.

TMI- pre liquid diet, haven't had a bowl movement in days
brown eyed gal posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Ok, I have one week left on my very strict liquid diet. Am I supposed to be having bowl movements? Even the day before, when I drink broth but there is nothing listed for a cleaning diet. Is that unusal? Sorry if TMI! -

What a strange trip this is - surgery 5-29
KissMeKate517 replied to hrhlaurie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Oh, and sorry to ask you to maybe ask you to post TMI but I imagine with the post op diet diarrhea may be a problem.... I have been considering buying diaper rash cream, baby wipes, etc. to minimize discomfort. Have you found this necessary? -
Hi guys!!! We have almost 2 inches of snow here today!!!!!!!!! ARGH!!!! I hate snow. I have had a crappy few days. I went to the ob-gyn yesterday. Bad news all the way around. I have some issues to say the least. She drew blood and sent it for major tests. She thinks I might have a testosterone producing tumor, and if not my ovaries are not functioning properly. I have fibroids and possibly need a hystorectomy. I am fine with surgery, but the tumor idea totally freaks me out. I will have lab results tomorrow, and will know more then. My DH took the day off today and had a tattoo apointment, I had a LONG talk with my mom, sometimes she is great other times not so much. She was good today, she supports whatever we have to do. I wish she was this supportive with Abi's medical stuff. We also had an appointment with the psych today, Abi is being left on the current med routine (that's a first) She is going to do another month on the current cocktail. Seems to be working so we are leaving all as it. I am going to be seeing a surgeon next week about the girly stuff....ugh, I hate this. I went off Depo in Oct and still haven't had a period. (sorry Mr. Pat, I know TMI) I am not losing weight and I am breaking out like a teenager. I will update ya'll tomorrow. Night all...~Mandy

December 2013 Sleevers Come In!
sandisleeve replied to AtlantaRed's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
-- Thanks everyone for suggestions. Wow that's interesting AtlantaRed. I'll see how it goes but I'm afraid of what they may have to do to my bum in the ER. I guess I have to get passed that if it means long lasting relief and my way back to normal living. I have to get back to work but am in no condition to return at this point with minimal fluid intake, constipation, hernia discomfort, fatigue/lightheaded-ness, etc So not looking forward to anymore pushing but I realize I'll have to with a foot stool now of course Tmi but It really is like an intense workout minus the euphoric feeling -
I am doing okay with salads. I don't choose them often though because I go for protein instead. I can tell a slight difference in urgency to get to bathroom, but not diarrhea. Sorry, TMI. I seem to be stick in 190's. I need to pick up the exercise. I need to stop letting things get in the way of my exercise time. It's tough when as the Mom you are always taking are of others. I will figure out a routine though.

SURGERY 9 FEBRUARY 2015
whirlwen replied to Brigette's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Okay, more TMI--the urinary incontinence disappeared a few hours after the last post I made, which was fabulous, but now I am constipated. I find that any time I take a drink, I get gas pains and have to walk them off. They are more annoying than painful, but I think they would improve if I could have a bowel movement. I will call the surgeon tomorrow if I am still having issues. Other than that, things are going quite well and I am not having much pain. I am having a hard time figuring out when or if I'm hungry and then again when I am full. I imagine it will just be something I will learn with time. Hope all is well with the rest of you and please keep us up to date on your progress! -
Looking for September 2010 Bandsters
hocuspocus replied to CSinTX's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Daren't have another shake as don't want to make a mess on the operating table (TMI lol). What we have to go through eh! Good luck for Thursday. -
What I Won't Miss About Being Fat...
MrzSongbird replied to justmeandmysleeve's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Right on with all of that.......but can't wait to cross my legs, touch my toes and ride my husband care free (i know TMI) but being real. Want him to pick me up during ***! He's really in shape and I can't wait to be able to run miles at a time with him. -
LOL Cindy-----I too am a PB pumpkin addict. Shall we start a 12 step for it? Hi, my name is Kat and I am a PB pumpkin addict, I have been clean for 5 months......but the demons are back! LOL This is not meant to make fun of those who depend on a 12 step program! Got the 2nd truck unloaded, but there is an entire side yard full of HUGE wood waiting to be split, and Rick is sick. So, it is going to sit there for awhile. He has a massive sinus infection, poor guy. He tried to come out and help, but he can be standing there, and it is (sorry if this is gross and TMI) like someone turns on a faucet, and water---not thick, just water poors out his nose. Wierdest thing I ever saw! So I have been having like multiple personality things with all the cars outside! Normally my car is in the drive, the van and truck on the street---or we leave the truck at the farm. Well we had the little trailer behind the van with the wood splitter on it. So I had to back my car out of the drive, park it across the street, then back the van in the drive to unload the splitter. Then drive it around the block, because I don't back trailers well (!--putting it MILDLY), then park it in front of the house, then back the truck in the drive to unload the wood, unloaded it, then back the truck up, park it in front of the neighbors, because the trailer is taking up its spot, and then move my car back in the drive!!! I had a handfull of keys, and a plan!!! Got it all done too!!! Trey, see you lurking there......ya better be posting same time I am, or I am gonna report you for being a peeping Tom!!! LOL Better find a better window than mine, would not want to hurt your poor young eyes!!! Will be back in awhile, need to finish dinner.

Good morning everyone~I woke up about 5:20 AM because my bladder had reached it bursting point (tmi, i know) but while I was in the restroom I could not help myself...i weighed again. I was kinda scared to because I should be having aunt flow visit any day now and I could have Water retention, but I braved the scales anyway. I have reached a new set of numbers. Started at 273.5 and this morning I was down another pound to 259.5. I can not believe I am on a new plane of numbers. That tickles me and I wanted to share it with y'all. So...I have not had a ticker up in over a year, but now here it is. New journey, new ticker. I have 199 as my goal and will re-evaluate once i get back there :smile2: I wish I would have not turned my back on my band and regained all of this weight PLUS 20 pounds, but, I learned a valuable lesson and I will not dwell on the past. Whats done is done and today is a new day. If y'all get tired of hearing this all the time, let me know and I will start just blogging it Macy has decided she would make a cute kitten for halloween. She doesnt want to be a cat, but when i mentioned kitten she was all for it. lol, i guess to a 7 year old it just sounds more cute than plain old cat. Changing the costume will be easy enough, just take off the cape and mask and sew on a tail and put on cat ears and paint her face...voila! Ashley, glad you have a fun new date night planned! I am sorry for all you have endured over the past couple of years. How is your shoe store business going?? That sounds like fun and i'll bet you have more shoes than you know what to do with. I loved the ones you put the link up on. cute cute! Everyone~make it a great day in whatever you do. Thanks for being here.... :thumbup:

Good morning!!! Plain...you're still a turd in my book, but I don't have the confidence to deliberately wear a see through shirt!! LOL. I joined the sagging wagon a long, long time ago. (TMI...but right back at ya!!). Add to that the muffin top and boy...I got it goin' on!!!!!! Sorry girls...send me the bill for your dramamine/pepto bismal! I do love to laugh and joke and I hope everyone is reading the humor in the posts from the last week or so. I am sorry if we offended anyone! Back to work... Angela
